Language: French (Français)

Rends moi mon cœur,
Rends moi mon cœur, pillarde
Que tu retiens dans ton sein arresté
Rends moi, rends moi ma douce liberté
Qu'à tes beaux yeux mal caut, je mis en garde
Rends moi ma vie ou bien la mort retarde
Qui me devance au cours de ta beauté
Par ne sai quelle honneste cruauté
Et de plus pres mes angoisses regarde.
